About PhoneDeck
PhoneDeck needs two free apps to work : this iPhone app + the Mac companion app at phonedeck.io . Both are 100% free, forever. No account needed. Stuck or something not working? DM me directly on Instagram @PhoneDeckApp - I reply personally, usually within a few hours. Turn your iPhone into a wireless Mac controller. Launch any Mac app, trigger system controls, open any website all with one tap. Think Stream Deck, but you already own the hardware. -------------------------- HOW IT WORKS -------------------------- • Install this app on your iPhone • Download the Mac app from phonedeck.io (free DMG) • Open both apps on the same WiFi - they pair automatically • Drag any Mac app, control, or website onto a tile • Tap your iPhone to launch No account. No cloud. No subscription. No data leaves your devices. -------------------------- WHAT YOU CAN DO -------------------------- APPS : Launch any Mac app with one tap. VS Code, Figma, Cursor, Premiere, Photoshop, Slack — anything installed on your Mac. CONTROLS : 16 built-in Mac controls: volume, brightness, keyboard backlight, media play/pause/next/previous, screenshot, screen recording, dictation, lock screen, show desktop, mission control, empty trash. WEBSITES : Drag any URL onto a tile. YouTube, ChatGPT, Linear, Figma files, your dashboards — one tap and it opens on your Mac. PAGES : Organize tiles into pages. One for Design, one for Dev, one for Music. Swipe between them on your iPhone. -------------------------- WHY IT'S DIFFERENT -------------------------- • Free forever. No subscription, no Pro tier, no ads, no tracking. • Works over local WiFi. No account, no cloud, no data collection. • Auto-updates on Mac : bug fixes ship the same day. • Built by one indie developer. Every feature is something a user asked for. -------------------------- WHAT YOU NEED -------------------------- • An iPhone running iOS 17 or later • A Mac running macOS 14+ or later • Both devices on the same WiFi network • The PhoneDeck Mac app from phonedeck.io (free download) -------------------------- Made by one developer in Mumbai. Constantly updated. Feature requests welcome at phonedeck.io/request-feature or DM @PhoneDeckApp on Instagram.
What’s new
Version v1.4 · Updated August 14, 2026
• Keyboard shortcuts, in beta. • Put a key combination on a tile and fire it from your phone ⇧⌘4 to snip a screenshot, ⌃→ to switch desktops, ⌘⇧T to reopen the tab you just closed. • Record any shortcut by pressing the keys you want. PhoneDeck captures them exactly, even the combinations your Mac normally swallows, like ⌘Q and ⌘Space. • Or pick from 28 ready-made shortcuts, grouped by what they do windows and desktops, screenshots, tabs, view, editing. Name them whatever you like. • Anything you record is saved, so it outlives the tile you made it for. • It's beta for a reason: a shortcut goes to whichever app is in front, so whether it lands is that app's decision. There's a report link built in for the ones that miss. • Your menu-bar apps are back. Tailscale, Docker, Stream Deck and others were being hidden from your app list — they're all there now. • A Refresh button for the app list, so newly installed apps show up without restarting PhoneDeck. • Keyboard tiles no longer blink when your phone connects. • Your saved websites and shortcuts can no longer be wiped by a single unreadable entry. • The Controls tab now tells you when a macOS permission is stopping a control from working, and which one.
